论《北溪字义》诸范畴的“逻辑性”

《北溪字义》是理学在东亚传播的重要文本,于中日韩三国皆有深远影响,但学者对于此书所列诸范畴之间的逻辑尚有不同看法。问题的关键在于《北溪字义》存在两种版本系统,即陈淳手定的二十五门初刻版和后出的二十六门增补版,两者之间的差异不仅仅是一个范畴、而是五个范畴。二十六门增补版因收录文献稍多而受到后来研究者的重视,但若研究《北溪字义》的内在逻辑,仍当以初刻版为准。

On the Logic of Concepts of Bei Xi Zi Yi

Bei Xi Zi Yi is an important text of Neo-Confucianism spreading in East Asia,having a profound impact on China,Japan and Korea.But scholars have different views on the logic among the concepts listed in this book.The key to the problem is that there are two versions of Bei Xi Zi Yi,the first published book confirmed by Chen Chun,which has 25 concepts,and the later supplementary version which has 26 concepts.The difference between the two is not only one concept,but five concepts.The supplementary version received more attention from later researchers because of its more documents.But if scholars study the inner logic of Bei Xi Zi Yi,the original version should still prevail.
